It's a great update at BPAL! YULE is here! Halloweenies are still up so if you are a BPAL freak like me, there's still time to grab you some of those. :grin:

But firstly, I had to order Pa-Pow.

Pa-Pow, Ted's best friend and companion for 17 years, passed away on September 1st, 2009. To celebrate her life and the joy she brought to all of us, we have created a scent evocative of bright days running through the grass and sun-warmed puppy fur dusted with California wildflowers. The proceeds from the sale of this scent will go to the Pasadena Humane Society so she can help care for the animals that were displaced and injured during this summer's Station Fires.

Now on to the update.


Mostly for my own notation so I don't forget and keep things straight.

Ordered decants from two circles:

Here on LJ via [livejournal.com profile] edenssixthscent:

The First Soft Snow
Heavy drifts of snow blanketing winter's narcissus.

The Fruit of Paradise
The Fruit of Paradise, the Nectar of Death: bittersweet pomegranate, nurtured and cultivated in the hollow darkness of the Underworld. OMG POMEGRANATE!♥

From "The Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire:

Mother Shub's Pfancy Pfefferneusse
Sugar-sprinkled pepper nuts with a bit of cinnamon, a bit of clove, a little cardamom, and a hint of nutmeg. OMG sounds so yummy!

Mother Shub's Toothsome Banketstaaf
Tubular pastries oozing with spijs, glazed with apricot jam, and dotted with glace cherries. Mmmm.

And from the BPAL forum (user: binkin) I'm getting:

Hypothermia
Bone-chilling, heart-stopping cold. Brrrrrrrrrrr.

Now Winter Nights Enlarge
Shorten those tedious nights with a surge of body heat: vanilla-infused red musk, champaca, petitgrain, ylang ylang, patchouli, nutmeg, honey, galbanum, and traces of caramel.

Pink Snowballs
A lighthearted winter scent: chilly vanilla rose snowballs.

Season of Ghosts
A scent created to burn away sorrow: bergamot, frankincense, rose geranium, ginger, lemongrass, and blood orange.

Sleipnir
Yay Norse mythology! Odin's eight legged horse!
Confections spun of hazelnuts, honey, elderberries, and bilberries with a dusting of hay and a bit of carrot.

Sol Invictus
A radiant blend of solar oils: golden amber, saffron, heliotrope, hibiscus, citron, frangipani, frankincense, tangerine, mock orange, and orange blossom.

When The Winter Chrysanthemums Go (waitlisted)
A gentle flurry of snow dusting the season's last chrysanthemums, illuminated by pale rays of winter's amber-tinted sunlight.

YAY!



Once I get these I'll test and sniff and see what loves me enough to grab bottles of before they go bye-bye.

I have the original Fruits of Paradise and it's one of my faves. It's truly gorgeous. I ordered so many decants that I'm embarrassed to even post about them. This update is killing me and I haven't even ordered the Vampire Tarot Scent yet!

I want "The Fool" but I have to wait a couple of weeks.

Too much goodness this update! LOL

I bought The Fool but haven't decided if I like it or not. It's very dirt-y/loam-y smelling and that doesn't work very well on me. I've got so many bottles to test and get rid of. *sigh* And I'm super super bummed that I ordered my mom a bottle of Antique Lace for her birthday with the last Lunacy so, of course, it went on hiatus five days later. I haven't put up a DISO for it because everyone is now desperate for it and my tale of woe sounds really cliched or just plain made up.

I'm glad you said that because I have a couple loamy scents I don't really need another. Maybe The Magician?

I have to look at the notes in the Magician, but I really love Tarot cards so I'll probably buy it no matter what. *sigh* If you want, I can get you a decant of the Fool. :)

Yeah, that would be good if you want to. I was curious about it.
